So I got back to the airport tonight and picked up my car in the wonderful -18 F weather.. and the CEL light came on. I let it warm up quite a while, didn't go away. After reading other threads, I am guessing it is a similar problem and am not overly concerned about that at this point.
However, there is another issue that I am a bit more concerned about. When I started leaving, I stopped at the parking gate and heard a clunk noise. Sounded like I hit a pot hole or something, didn't really think anything of it.... until I started rolling again. There is a shaking/undulation type feel coming from the front left of the car. It almost feels like the wheel isn't on correctly, or at least what I guess that would feel like. You can go about 20 mph and it isn't horrible, though definitely a bit unnerving not knowing what is causing it. It seems like it is suspension related. Has anyone else encountered anything like this before? There are 1500 miles on the car and the majority of it has been freeway driving.
And another concern is that the only Mazda dealer close to me is not a Mazdaspeed dealer. Will they still be able to work on the car or do I somehow need to transport it 200 miles? I don't feel comfortable driving in its present condition further than a couple miles.
Ideas?
Thanks!
